Foreword ADHD can create challenges for adults in the workplace. It may be that some elements of your job are difficult, whilst with others you excel. It is important to think about this. Some people with ADHD can feel like a square peg in a round hole and they just can’t find the right job that fits them. This booklet will help you to think about what your strengths and challenges are and how these relate to work. If sometimes you enjoy most of your job but struggle with certain elements, this booklet will give you some ideas about how to manage the more challenging aspects of your job. We also have another booklet; the ‘ADHD Strategies Book’ which is a companion to this one and may give you more ideas about this. Lastly, there is information on what your rights are at work and where you may be able to seek further help. It will also help you to think about how you can have conversations with your employer about ADHD and what your rights are at work.
